Default Spuddering at low RPM's

Hey guys,
My new buggy started acting up on the last couple ride, and seems to be better worst. Some times the buggy will idle perfect and some time I have to push the gas pedel to keep it going, It will shut off if I don't. And when it is acting up like that, when I start to move at low speed/RPM it will start spiting and speddering until I get some speed picked up. Can anyone help me out.

symptoms are what a pilot jet issue will do. What kind of machine is it?

Here is the thread showing the picture of a choke energized vs not.

I have the 150cc Carbide. I took the carb of and cleaned it the other night, it didn't look dirty but ya never knows. I haven't had a chance to go for a ride sinced I cleaned the carb, so not sure if that was the problem.

I haven't ckecked the choke yet, will do that before the weekend.

Thanks
